Tilemill export in mbtiles data size

Question

I'd like to know what is the data size necessary if I want to generate a map of the whole world, with every zoom level available with tilemill.

I found that it was around 100mo for 8 level zoom there.

The sister question is what can I host with the basic plan from Mapbox that includes 250mo data upload. Is it useless, or is there anychance of doing something out of it?

Answer 1

So I found the answer by trying to export my map in TileMill :

To get the whole world, starting from zoom 0, if you play with zoom max, here are the given estimations :

- Zoom 15 à 22 ==> 1000 Gb+ 
- Zoom 12 à 14 ==> 100 Gb+ 
- Zoom 11 ==> 10 Gb+
- Zoom 10 ==> 1 Gb+
- Zoom 9 ==> 100mb
- Zoom 8 ==> 10mb
- Zoom 7 ==> 1mb
- Zoom <7 ==> <1mb

Answer 2

Each level generally increases the data size by a factor of 4 - unless your layers are becoming less complex. For instance, if you start to have single color tiles - they use less disk space and you can have an increase as low as a factor of 3.
